Lag Spikes every 2-3 minutes

[JakeArmitage]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I'm having with the game. I recently(within the last few days), purchased KOTOR I and II TSL on steam. The issue I'm having with KOTOR II is odd.

 

Every 2-3 minutes, I get about a 2 second lag spike. It's completely random and is evident in cutscenes(in game, not the movie scenes, it is absent in those), and even in combat(will cause me to end up far outside of the combat zone at times).

 

I have tried every fix I have found via Google and the Steam forums, but nothing has worked, so I'm hoping you guys can help. My specs are as follows

 

 

 

Windows 10 Home 64 bit

 

Processor: AMD FX-4100 Quad core running at 3.6GHz

 

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 v2

 

RAM: 8GB of Corsair Vengeance high performance RAM

 

I have updated all drivers and even placed exceptions in my firewall for both steam's exe, and KOTOR II's exe. I have also tried every combination of graphics setting in both the game, as well as my Nvidia control panel. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
